My daughter Abby is a graduating senior at CIA in Cleveland and she is working on a Cleveland cultural rroject for her thesis.

Economics is very simple to me. Everyone acts in their own self interest the same way it works in nature, in fact economics is simply an exstension of the natural world.

For all of our intellect, it comes down to doing what is best for ourselves, our family and occasionally our tribe.

If you understand how a flock of birds or a school of fish work, you see each animal taking care of it’s self first, and in the process they form a momentary society to reduce the risk, in their tiny minds, of being eaten by predators.

It’s kind of like buying insurance and pooling risk. At the same time the strive to maintain some autonomy from the group which results in a stasis or harmony that appears to be organized.

Every time a government intercedes in an economy, immediately the animals, ( us ) start deriving solutions to take advantage of the new environment, while striving to not be controlled by the outside influence.

It’s why managed economies evolve into facism and totalitarianism, people simply refused to be hearded, we are like cats.
